Finally, we have the last member of the command staff! For those of you who have seen the previous posts, you know I have been painting all these in the Altdorf color scheme. I have also taken the opportunity to do some SE-NMM.
You can especially see the Sky-earth in these views of the helmet and chest plate. It is a lot of fun getting to do that!
What was less fun was the inevitable resin issues. The pistol of the captain was broken off from the start, so I had to sculpt one. It was made more difficult by virtue of its octagon shape. I modeled it after the pistol on this figure. I was nearly done painting this figure when somehow my finger touched the muzzle and snapped it off! I still have no idea where it might have gone, but I was not going to waste time looking for it.
So, I made another one.
I will post the group shots tomorrow! I hope you like them. :-)
Beautiful work man! And you're just showing off with that chrome effect ;)

Thanks! It's always fun to break out the shiny stuff!
DeleteForgeworld brittle resin vs. Fincast sproingy resin... hmmm. So hard to choose which one I like more.
ReplyDeleteGreat work as usual. I love reading the little anecdotes about the painting as much as seeing the final product. Thanks for that.
